AVP Womens News - TV Update * OLD 2002 information below,stay tuned as to what AVP women's events will be scheduled for broadcast on this network in 2005.
NEW YORK (Variety) - Geraldine Laybourne's Oxygen Media will cablecast five of the seven women's Assn. of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) tournaments this summer. The deal is consistent with Oxygen's recently announced strategy of focusing only on high-visibility women's sports. Six weeks ago, Oxygen laid off 20 people in its sports division, reducing the number of events from 31 per year to about 12. Lydia Stephans, president and executive producer of Oxygen Sports, called the AVP tournaments "the premier women's beach volleyball competition in the world." In addition to the five Oxygen cablecasts, the AVP will get three live broadcasts on NBC. Oxygen's five cablecasts will run on consecutive Sunday afternoons at 2, beginning June 9.

Oxygen will no longer be carrying Volleyball in 2007-2008.
AVP Hour on the radio
Courtesy of Hugo Rec.Sport.Volleyball In yesterday's LA Times (May 17, 2002), a column written by Larry Stewart, he mentiones that: "Karch Kiraly and Sinjin Smith will co-host a new weekly show, "The AVP Hour," on KMPC (1540 AM) Thursdays, 7-8 p.m., beginning next week (May 23, 2002)." However, I listened to KMPC earlier today (Sat. May 18) and I heard a commercial for it and "Geeter" (Chris McGee) said that he and Sinjin will be hosting this new weekly show. He also said that if you don't listen you'll get sand kicked in your face! ;-) Anyway, whoever is hosting, it's good to know that the vball community is getting high profile ambassadors of the game to get the word out about beach volleyball on the radio! Yay volleyball! I hope that we can continue this well into the future. :-) Hugo Hey Hugo,Thanks for the info.Any coverage of the AVP by its Players is welcome news.By the way Ian Clark has had his own radio show of sorts on Live365 for over 2 years now.Take a listen to DJ Slimknicky1 at the following link: Listen!!! to "I-RADIO AVP" IMAN'S Broadcasting in Stereo!!!24/7 Featuring "DJ- KNICKY" playing all the hits for AVP fans!!!

Bicentennial Park is located on beautiful Biscayne Bay, seven blocks north of Bayfront Park. Bicentennial Park is a 30-acre, open park with an event capacity of 45,000 (based on event infrastructure). Given the wide-open space, there are several different event set-ups that take place: everything from a singular stage to multiple stages to a carnival atmosphere. Some examples of event set-ups, that have taken place at Bicentennial Park, are the Lollapalooza music festival and the grand chapiteau of Cirque Du Soleil.
